Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my birthday and I celebrate 58 years of life. I do this by giving gratitude beyond measure. I have been blessed with:
1. Loving parents who showed me what true love, through thick n thin, was.
2. An education that prepared me for my career life.
3. A career that brought me smiles day after day in the eyes of the children I taught.
4. A husband, that I have known since I was 9 years old, that has been there for me for 36 years.
5. Beautiful daughters that make me proud everyday.
6. A retired life that let's me live in the most beautiful part of our United States on the ocean.
7. Friends and activities, that along with my children, still inspire me and keep me young.

Sometimes I feel I don't deserve it all, but I do firmly believe that one's birthday is a day to stop and take stock of all that we were given and give gratitude for our place in this life.

Even if it isn't your birthday, share mine with me. All of us have a purpose, no matter how small or insignificant, in this life to make a difference. If you are a parent, your children's future rests in your hands. If you are a teacher, firefighter, clerk, secretary, run a home business, nurse, health care provider, etc. – YOU are important to this world. YOU have special gifts to give everyday. YOU are an important link in the universe. Stop today, and join me, and give thanks for who you are, right where you are. Then go on and have a fabulous weekend to refuel and ready yourself to go out and do it all again Monday morning.

And so, as another day goes by, happy birthday to all of us and all we stand for, thanks for sharing mine with me, and …I have written.

Be nice...please share.
